If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Jiang Wanjun, who was in charge of lighting the fire, moved quickly. Whatever happened to the two people behind her was none of her business. She was just saying something casually.

She wondered how things had gone between Yueyue and Shen Yanqiu. She was still a little worried and wanted to go back and ask, but she was also afraid of running into Chen Can and Shen Yanzhen who were still at the door.

She sighed deeply, found a corner to sit down, and planned to go back later.

Just as he was feeling bored, a familiar female voice came to his ear: "Mr. Shi, you are too modest. I think you are very humorous!"

This is Xu Jie!

Then, a man's voice said, "Miss Xu, you're so kind. Everyone else says I'm glib, but you're the only one who praises me for being humorous and witty. Here, let me toast you!"

This voice... seems somewhat familiar, but after thinking for a while, she couldn't successfully retrieve the relevant information from her brain. She probably doesn't recognize it!

"Not at all! Someone as talented as you is a rare find. It's my honor to know you!"

The two chatted and drank, creating an exceptionally pleasant atmosphere.

Jiang Wanyun was puzzled: How could anyone fawn over Xu Jie, such a naive and innocent girl? Are they blind? Can't they see the strong green tea smell emanating from her?

Alas, the world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!

The two exchanged views, ranging from literary works to the current situation.

It had probably been a long time since anyone had been so supportive; Xu Jie's laughter reached Jiang Wanjun's ears.

Jiang Wanjun summarizes as follows:

"Pfft" ten times; "Giggle" eight times; "Hee hee" fifteen times; "Ha ha" eighteen or nineteen times?

The laughter echoed in her ears like a curse, making Jiang Wanyun feel as uncomfortable as Sun Wukong listening to Tang Sanzang reciting the Tightening-Headband Mantra, her head throbbing with pain.

This is the Shen family's property, and I can't just kick them out, so I might as well leave! It'll save me from having to listen to her high-pitched voice anymore; it makes me feel uncomfortable!

She had just stood up when that annoying voice approached.

The road between enemies is narrow!

"Wanjun, you're here too? What a coincidence!" Xu Jie appeared with her signature fake smile!

When it comes to putting on airs, Jiang Wanyun is second to none.

She gave a smile that seemed even more genuine than Xu Jie's, and spoke softly, "Yes, what a coincidence."

Xu Jie, who reigns supreme in the world of innocent beauties, saw through her disguise at a glance but did not expose her. In a world where power reigns supreme, who doesn't wear a few masks?

Her smile grew even gentler, and she looked behind her, asking suspiciously, "Where's Yueyue? Why isn't she with you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanjun felt a surge of impatience.

What she hated most wasn't Xu Jie's insincerity and flattery. Pretty words for show, anyone can say them when necessary.

However, Xu Jie can perform anytime, anywhere, and no matter who you are, she will try to find out any information about you, whether it is explicitly or implicitly.

Who doesn't have a privacy? And who would willingly reveal their secrets?

So there's a reason why Xu Jie hasn't been able to make it in this industry over the years.

It's not that people look down on her family background, but rather that they dislike her outward appearance.

The only person willing to play with her was Li Qingyu.

Li Qingyu, in Jiang Wanyun's words, was clearly no good person!

Xu Jie trusted her completely, leading her step by step, like twin sisters, as close as family.

Perhaps Xu Jie, having played the innocent victim for so long, also yearns for love and warmth!

Jiang Wanjun didn't want to embarrass her, and replied, "She has something to do."

Sighing silently to herself, she thought, "Every family has its own troubles. Xu Jie's situation is probably all because of her family's problems."

After all, not everyone can have loving parents like I and Yueyue.

Xu Jie could also sense her cold attitude; having been in the industry for a long time, she knew how to read people.

She didn't ask any further questions, and instead made an excuse and turned to leave.

Jiang Wanjun couldn't wait for her to leave; she was happy to say it herself and feel relieved.

With a genuine smile on her face, Jiang Wanyun watched Xu Jie leave before plopping down on her chair.

This place is quiet, which is nice!

But why is there another person next to him?

The man who had just spoken with Xu Jie was still standing there, while Xu Jie had been gone for quite some time.

This aroused Jiang Wanjun's suspicions, and she couldn't help but turn her gaze to this strange man.

The man was also staring at Jiang Wanjun. At first, his eyes showed a hint of shock, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Immediately afterwards, the shock quickly turned into a look of sudden realization, as if he had suddenly understood something;

However, this understanding did not last long, and was quickly replaced by a raging fire of anger.

In a mere instant, the man's gaze changed so quickly and so complexly that Jiang Wanjun felt increasingly perplexed.

She wondered to herself, "Who is this person? Have I offended him in the past? Or... do I owe him a large sum of money that I haven't paid back?"

Various speculations swirled in Jiang Wanjun's mind, but she couldn't recall ever having any interaction with the person in front of her.

Could it be that she saw I'm rich and wants to hook up with me? These men! One by one, they don't walk the straight path, they only think of crooked ways!

With just a pretty face, you think you can rise to the top? Don't you even know your own limitations?

Jiang Wanjun looked at him with disdain, but his face was indeed quite handsome!

Under the cover of night, his face looked as if it had been meticulously sculpted, with perfectly defined features, as if every line was deliberately crafted by the heavens.

Those narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, like two stars twinkling with a cold light in the night sky, deep and mysterious.

If I were to be gentle and tender instead of angry at this moment, I might actually do as he wishes, take him in, and have some fun with him. It wouldn't be a bad idea!

It's a pity that this kid can't read facial expressions; what a waste of such a good pair of eyes.

"Tch," Jiang Wanjun scoffed dismissively.

The calm on the man's face vanished instantly, his expression turning ugly. His eyebrows shot up, and his eyes were filled with coldness as he looked at Jiang Wanyun. His words were like ice: "Jiang Wanyun!"

He knows my name? Looks like he came prepared! Then why was he talking to Xu Jie for so long? Was he trying to find out about me?

Jiang Wanjun immediately realized that this person's motives were impure.

I asked him, "How do you know my name?"

The man almost laughed out of anger: "I not only know your name, I also know where you live, what your family situation is like, and you..."

"Stop talking!" Jiang Wanjun quickly interrupted him. This person knew so much, it seemed he had come prepared, and she would not be able to leave easily today!

What should we do? We need to find outside help!

Shen Yanqiu is busy spending time with Yueyue, so who else is there?

Ah, I've got it! Shen Yanzhen! This is his home, let him come and take me away!

Jiang Wanjun took out her phone and fiddled with it for a while, but oh no, she didn't have Shen Yanzhen's contact information!

She was on the verge of tears, utterly helpless, with no one to turn to for help, and beside her was a scoundrel? A conman? A gigolo?
